OUTFIT / maxed out
Apologies if my choices in clothes have become minimal and mature. You haven't seen any printed shirts and crazy boots lately, no? Ive been keeping and repeating favorite pieces , less styled. I was in a crossroad: to wear a green KENZO jumper or choose purity and wear a button down white shirt. So I chose the latter. It's true that blogging made me excited in showing my new purchases before: A pair of new studded boots, ripped jeans, leather jackets, etc until the feeling of "what to put in my blog" changed. From showing it translated into expressing: This is me , this is what i wear.
I enjoy trendy clothes too from time to time but I'm a rabbit and my usual reflex is to retreat and hold back. When everything begins to look like a carnival , I scoot and stop. The shopping , my growing closet and shoe rack, the online purchasing, the undying wishlist became too much. All of a sudden the weather condition, mood , activities and age synergistically influenced me to downgrade a bit. But I've always stressed here in my blog the importance of feeling good in whatever you wear. The same feeling for this maxi coat. This is an essential piece and it makes me feel like I belong from Jil Sander's army...
Maxi coat - 2nd hand korean shop / shirt (inside)- Margiela / UNIQLO trousers / leather patent derbies / leather bag / round specs here (gift from ally)
very well said - I know what you mean cause I'm going through a similar process. and I'm really glad you didn't choose the green kenzo jumper :D
ReplyDeletethanks duck!! no more printed animals hehe.. following your blognow.
DeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE THE SHOES!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog as well. deeepbal.blogspot.com
thanks deep.. sure i will...
DeleteI totally get you. I also had this phase where i had to buy everything that was a bit 'on trend', but in the end i only wore the items 2/3 times. Such a shame, so i decided to (mainly) invest in better pieces. This works way better!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry, you're still looking amazing! Your shoes are the best!
thanks eline dear.. contenment is the real luxury... thanks so mch.. glad u like my simple patent derbies
DeleteI enjoy you in this element. Such simplicity is always so stunning, at least from my perspective. This style requires a different kind of admiration than opulence, a shift in perspective really. It'd be easy for me to label this as more organic, but I think it's truly an exercise in restraint.
ReplyDeletethanks ashley. i visited your blog. hope u wont mind me snatching your blog roll hha. thanks.. yes organic is a great depiction of this process
DeleteNice bag!
ReplyDeletethanks love... it's a simple generic leather bag my mom sourced from her travel.
DeleteI really like this look.
ReplyDeleteI've found that there are a select few pieces I always want to reach for. It's a good knowing that you've invested in an item that gets worn countless times but still gives you the excitement of wearing a new piece regardless.
Thanks thanksthanks heaps MIA!!! i couldnt believe u left a comment here.. INVEST is the keyword here most definitely. and yes.. it's about respecting clothes and finding their meaning day in and day out.. hugs from MNL
DeleteMinimal always seem like the right choice to me! I hope the part of the Philippines you are in you are safe xx
